A scientist in Australia says his team of researchers has determined why a plethora of pink diamonds were found in remote Western Australia. Their findings were shared in a release this week.
That collision caused a"scar" in the earth, he said.

"Most diamond deposits have been found in the middle of ancient continents because their host volcanoes tend to be exposed at the surface for explorers to find," he said in the release.
Argyle Diamond Mine produced about 90% of the world's supply of pink diamonds, according to its website."Argyle Diamond Mine accounted for more than 90% of the world's supply of pink diamonds," says its website, which claims that there is"no other source in the world known to consistently produce diamonds of Argyle's iconic spectrum.
